Only one good picture so far...

But I'm working on getting more. Background is of Downtown Miami.

No photoshop. Just did an extended exposure and we played with the time the lens stayed open.

Next time try move the car forward to avoid the lamp-pole shadow & adjust your white balance, will be much better.
Good exposure time!

Yeah we didn't realize that until we got out of the car and setup the tripod. And by that time there were people to the right of my car who had parked and were playing dominos, so I wasn't able to move the car.

Either way I don't think it's not too bad for amateurs.

Damn that shadow kills it.

You can def get rid of all that yellowing with PS.


Heres an example of something my boy did.

The before pictures are already processed in the lightest HDR using photomatix, and after pictures is about 30-45min worth of Photoshop masking, and messing around with the contrast, and saturation.

BEFORE:


AFTER: I actually have a SLIGHTLY better version of this on my home PC, I'll post it up tonight.


Here's a quick shadow removal and quick color altering, I only took 15-20min on this because I was already getting tired.

This is AFTER a little bit of processing


This is AFTER AFTER more processing.

<3 PHOTOSHOP.

You can send it to me Alpha, will show what PS5 can do versus just raw shooting...
If you shot the photo in RAW, this is even better...
